You may notice that when using our share buttons to send something over Twitter or WhatsApp, our services automatically shorten your URL to something like scl.io/J9trsED.

We do this to reduce the message (especially important for Twitter, considering its character limit), as well as aesthetic reasons.

However, you can change this domain to your own. Using your brand’s name in your links allows your audience to recognize and trust you more easily.

In your Settings —> Site Settings, you'll find the "Custom Short Domain" section. 

Clicking on "Don't forget to setup the domain" will show you the instructions to
implement this. 

If you're having trouble setting up, reach us at support@getsocial.io and we'll help you!
